"Oh hidy-ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day. There we were minding our own business, just doing chores around the house, when kids started killing themselves all over my property." - Tucker, to the inquiring sheriff

Why watch this? Some films grab you from the start. This role-flipping dark comedy is a riot!

Plot Summary: Good-natured hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of really dumb preppy college students. A series of comical and tragic misunderstandings escalate as the students accidentally cause their own demise. Tucker and Dale struggle to prove their innocence while simultaneously trying to protect the lone surviving student.

Dad's Preview: I just cannot watch another "teens go into the forest and are murdered one by one" film. Give it a rest! This film flips the genre on its head and delivers one of the best dark comedies you'll find. Tucker and Dale are just sweetly ignorant rednecks trying to get by. A group of teens convince themselves that Tucker and Dale are serial murders. It's grisly at times, but in a funny way (yes, I just said that). Of course, there is a wood chipper involved. Yuck!
